    First I want to wish Lilly, Wat and family to enjoy the new season of travelling. Have fun and stay save and healthy.
    Second I want to address this to the people who keep asking why they left Koh Samui or saying that they should get back or that Wat will miss the place where he stayed most of his life. If your a true follower of Lillys Life you should've know already what the purpose and meaning is of this new season of vlogs. In some of her previous videos she had given us some hints.
    The coming two or three months, besides that she and her family (including Nam) wants to discover the rest of Thailand, she will try to blow up her channel and of course to increase her subscribers with more interesting and surprising contents.
    We should wonder why such interesting CZcams channel with millions of viewers have only 220k subscribers.
    Maybe we as followers who love her channel can help her by sharing it within our network. I think by the time GiGi will visit again they will return to Koh Samui.
    Sorry Lilly if I have messed up one of your surprises.😊😉😅😂🤣. For now you all just enjoy the beautiful moments, places and food,🥰🥰🥰

      The number of subscribers should NEVER matter. It's better to have few subscribers but a lot of viewers enjoying your content than a lot of subscribers but barely anyone watching and enjoying the content you create.
      There're many people who watch, love what they watch and keep coming back to watch more but will never subscribe.. that's perfectly ok. The important thing is that she loves what she does and enjoys creating her content.
      Life is beautiful, live is precious so let's not allow things that don't matter become our focus and steal our joy.

    Bangkok is the most visited city on earth for the last 7 years in a row. Very cosmopolitan, international and exciting. Yes, you can get fat there very easily as they have every cuisine imaginable from Thai street food to 2 Michelin star French fine dining. They have a branch of that cronut bakery "chikalicious" in NYC too. It is very popular and has 5 stars on google reviews.

      The balcony with Luke and Leon around children in general moves so quickly you could be in the kitchen they're right there with you 2 mins later you're looking around thinking that they're in the living room watching TV and they've managed to open the sliding door to the balcony. OMG!
      Hopefully, during homeschooling hours they instill in both boys under NO circumstances neither one is ever allowed to open the sliding doors.

I lived and worked in BKK for 5 years and as the novelty of the vibrant noisy city wore off, ended up in Australia and was amazed with the lifestyle change of clear blue skies and fresh air. Children can adapt easily but a little more challenging for adults with cultural/societal differences abound.

    I was borned in a big city. I lived with my grandparents in the country off and on. I owned a historic house in a city in my 20s. Moved to central ky to a rural area. And that is where I raised my kids. And I don't regret it at all. It was so much better for my kids. They got to have horses, cows, dogs and cats. It kept them out of trouble.
    I would have this as a experience while they are little. But they would be better off growing up in your old home town.

    Lilly, I am worried for the children's safety on those balconies, especially with anything they can climb on to fall over. Also, I'd make sure you have fire extinguishers, especially in the kitchen area, where I only see one exit for that room. Please take special safety precautions. 🙏 I am not a big city gal, either. Although I do live in a big city in S. Florida, it is very tropical and green where I live, with high rise buildilngs only in the commercial areas and the beaches are a just a few minutes away, with many parks within walking distance. Perhaps you would be better off living in the safest suburbs of Bangkok - I'd investigate more for the right balance for you and your family.

    As a Bangkokian, born and raised in Bangkok, I love Bangkok. However, it is so much different than Samui Island. It is a lot bigger, busier, and noisier. I don’t think Wat will like it as he is from the Southern region, with sea, sand, and sun. However, if it is for your restaurant business or for children’s education, I understand. Look forward to your next chapters in your videos.

When I get bored and yearn for city life again I am so excited to go. Within a day or two I am ready to go screaming back to the country life. I bet you will be excited to return to a quieter life but it is nice to get a different perspective every once in a while

    Have you traded paradise for urban chaos? After so many years, was the island life beginning to be a bore? Your travels in Koh Samui were so beautiful -- the food, the resorts, the pristine beaches. Of course you needed a change, but I hope Wat can adjust to the fast lane and stress of city life. Also, the city probably offers a better educational experience for the children.

    Lilly..thank you for taking us on this journey with you! I'm from LA but lived & now live in a smaller city in LA county so I'm used to city life. I think from what you've said its going to be hard to live in Bangkok. It will not be as peaceful probably cuz city life is so fast moving. Praying for you all🙏😷💞

    I think your move to BKK is a great idea. It's an opportunity for your channel to really grow. There's more room for adventure. And it's easier to travel to other provinces as it's in the center. I've been here for 8 years now and I love it! I know so many places around here. Hope you'd take some of my suggestions on where you guys might wanna go. Safari World and Sea Life Ocean World for a start. The kids would enjoy that. Sea Life Ocean World is just at Siam Paragon. So excited for you, guys! More blessings!

    Hi Lilly ! I’ve never been to Thailand but seeing Samai through your eyes was definitely an eye awaking experience . I love Samui, with the ocean breeze, organic and adorable food stalls, friendly people and small community .
    Bangkok is as they say ‘tourist attraction ‘ so enjoy your vacation stay at Bangkok .
    Thank God Nam is with you to help with kids . And your husband is a 💎 gem. He is beautiful inside out , a trooper !
    Your kids are gorgeous and well mannered. God Keep you and your family safe and healthy .
    Enjoy Bangkok .
    Ps. If I ever have the finances to visit Thailand , Bangkok is NOT on my list .
    Samui is my top choice .
    I don’t like city life .
    I prefer more the country living .

      With due respect, Bangkok was not built and developed to be a tourist attraction. The place is inhabited by millions of Thais. Thais have been making their livings and enjoying their lives here for centuries. Later foreigners came and felt the city's charms. What I would like to say is that as a matter of fact Bangkok is basically meant for living. Vacationing in Bangkok is just a more recent trend among foreigners.

I also love the new angles that you're filming from, show us yourself fully in the vlog more often. If it means handing Nam, your husband or even Luke the phone to film some clips please do so.

    I think if you guys are just staying there temporarily not long term it would be a fun adventure. I think you will all miss the island and it just seems so much more relaxing and carefree near the water. Until then I am looking forward to seeing you all explore and experience city life. I laughed so hard with you and Nam trying those doughnuts! I was right there with you, the right dessert just takes your breath away!

    Only my opinion, I would miss Koh Samui so very much. I had the privilege of visiting their one time. It was so beautiful, calm and peaceful. I just loved it, as well as some of the other smaller places I visited. I wouldn’t do well in a busy noisy place like Bangkok….but that’s just me. Blessings to you and your beautiful family 🙏🌹

    Hi Lilly, I have watched your family's story once in a while. It amazed me that your family leaved from Samui to Bangkok. You and your husband are strong enough to raise your children high. I've lived in Bangkok for 40 years since I was 17 and now I and my wife plan to move out of this chaotic city within 3 years when the time of my retirement comes. The place that I plan to go to is not far away from Bangkok, no more than 150 km, since I have a daughter who will finish undergraduate from a University in Bangkok next year and she wishes to be an air hostess in some well-known airline after graduation. As it is Thai culture that most parents still care for their children and will keep some distance from them even though they are mature and able to survive on their feet. Hope you and your family have a successful life in Bangkok and I will be keeping following your interesting story more often. If you would like me to share some experience in Bangkok, I am pleased to do.

    Hi Lily,
    I have been to Bangkok many times my son has a condo there in a place called
    Ratchathewi, Bangkok… plus he and his wife and son have a farm in the South near Krabi.. he works in Bangkok and goes back to the farm every chance he gets.. it’s living almost two different lives.. a work life in the big city and a relax life on the farm…he prefers the country and farm way of living. But, you have to keep your options open to experience new things in life.
    Good luck with your adventures in the big city…
    God Bless and keep you all safe.♥️🙏🏼♥️

    There are pros and cons. It’s good for living a better life, also much more food choices. I think you can make lots of clips for your channel too. But the cost of living in the city cost a lot more. Anyway everyone looks so happy now especially Nam and you. Good idea to change to new places new environments and gaining new experience. Really enjoyed your channel❤️

    • @jomontanee
      @jomontanee Před rokem +3

      I am Thai so I can confirm that the cost of living in BKK is much cheaper than Samui. Because Samui is a tourism island and it takes the ships to convey the goods and everything from the mainland to the island. The transportation cost is high too, again tourism island. That is why the cost of living is pricier than Bangkok.

Being a grandma watching my grandkids around the same ages, I got nervous when I saw the wide open railings at the balcony, please be careful when the kids are out there playing. You have a beautiful family, thank you for sharing you life. Best of luck to you.

    Hi Lilly! I know Bangkok and I know Koh Samui. I love them for many reasons but I'm just a tourist (even if I go there every year). First, I was very surprised by the whole family's move to Bangkok. You say you don't really have any plans but I hope you're not going to spend your time eating in all the shopping centers in town! Anyway, good luck for the future. P.S: I think that the cream inside the chocolate cake is not a crème brûlée but a pastry cream. The crème brûlée is made in the oven in small ramekins and burnt with a blowtorch. To consume with moderation !
